[MlMt] Display URLs for hypertext/links in messages

[Topher Buck]

Hello, everyone. This relates to this thread, with subject [hover over 
link to view 
it?](https://www.mail-archive.com/mailmate@lists.freron.com/msg13473.html), 
started by Shoshanna Green approximately 4.5 years ago.


I’m running r5937 (and have been for ages, it seems) on macOS Ventura 
13.6.7. It has been a long time since I had the ability to hover over 
hypertext in a message and see the target URL displayed at the bottom of 
the window. I really miss this feature and have been wondering about it 
for... many months, if not a couple of years or more, but I hadn’t 
bothered searching the archive for messages about that until today. 
That’s when I found the thread referenced above. That thread doesn’t 
really answer the question, and I’m not eager to try the nuclear 
option that Eric Sharakan suggested.


Did you ever find a solution, @Shoshanna? I don’t see that Benny ever 
contributed to the discussion, so I’m not sure whether this was ever 
definitively resolved.


On a potentially unrelated (or tangentially related) note, should I 
still be running r5937? I’m generally interested in running a stable 
(not bleeding edge) version, but 5937 seems pretty old at this 
point—though, according to 
https://updates.mailmate-app.com/beta_release_notes, it’s still the 
current public beta.


Many thanks,

I can't remember if I changed something or if an update (of MM or my OS) fixed 
it, but I do now see links on hover! I'm now running r6038 under Ventura, but 
I'm sure it was working well before the latest MM and OS updates.

The non-public, "cutting-edge"  betas are virtually always rock-solid stable; I 
think there was one time, mybe twice, in the ten years I've been running 
MailMate, when a release had a significant bug, and Benny had a patched version 
out within a day or so. The "cutting-edge" releases are more stable than many 
"final release" applications I've used from other developers! But if you want a 
safety net, do what I do with most software: save a compressed copy of your 
current version before updating. That way, if something goes kablooey, you can 
roll back instantly.

Hold down Option while clicking the "Check Now" button in the Software Update 
pane or the preferences, and you'll be able to update to version 6038. A lot 
has happened since 5937!
